What if I suggest you a method to judge your day. For no monetary criteria suits the definion of success, neither any sort of distribution of power defines what it means to be a meaningful life. Modernity has already brought formalisation of human minds which are concerned with triviality of procedural wisdom. The "Agentic State" (Stanley Milgram, Obedience) of human mind is concerned to follow what is written or what is directed than what is relevant in any given condition. The "Society of Control" (Deleuze and Guattary) has reduced human agency into the state of algorithmic wisdom, a Matrix is running on where it has become an impossible task to decipher what is real or naturally driven and what is fictitious reality. Market ethics has already established a set of institutions, including juridical formations of State and other social and political institutions, coupled with enfeebling human's capabilities to think and create, have denounced human society with shameful ideological impoverishment. Knowledge creation has become a tool to create quite a few machines for certain other extraneous purposes. Justice and ethical contours of it has been stripped from its ethical content, and a market oriented necessity has transformed its semantics to merely an institution which is concerned more about market order than justice in substantial way. Be it university, hospital, or any government- private office documents are more lively than humans. Here concern is not about action but the fear of action, consequences of action. The formal mind is less acceptable to change. It can receive what is already inculcated through market ethics. Humans emancipation is not visible from the distance I can see. Only the birth of substantive reason could restore us to peace and meaningful existence.

Student: I is the ego which is the agent achieving successes and facing failures. Teacher: Whether ego is real or imaginary? Student: It is made of name, form, and function. Teacher: Whether name, form, and function are eternal? Student: No, they are changing. Teacher: Anything changes does it exist? Whether these are real or merely fictitious images appearing and disappearing before the sightscreen of mind? Student: They are the images constructing my identity as a person. Teacher: Well said! What is the stuff by which these images are made of? Who is maker and what is made? Student: They ar...
